Finnsheep - Nordic Speciality

1. THE FINNSHEEP

I made a day trip to the countryside in August and visited a sheep farm. The breed is called Suomenlammas / Finnsheep. Finnsheep is the original Finnish sheep breed that has adapted to the hard Nordic climate over several thousand years. It is an integral part of Finnish history, culture and identity.

The sheep were so cute! On this farm they are grown for wool not for meat. Finnsheep are usually white, but can also be brown or black. They give birth to numerous lambs at a time, their wool is soft and excellent and they are healthy & well adapted to our cold climate.

Good Afternoon Riita, I discovered your blog after visiting Amy from Love Made My Home and decided to pop over and visit you.The Finnsheep have such adorable faces, they are really cute. I love to see photographs of blue sky and clouds as I find the cloud formations fascinating, especially on a day like today when it is cloudy and grey here in England.Have a lovely weekend Riita.Best WishesDaphne

Thank you all for your visits and comments ♥♥ We have had so wonderful weather that I have been out in the garden for hours every day. So been a bit busy and not at my computer. Chat with you more later - please, forgive me!

Thank you so much for the link Miyako! I'm a tiger / tora: People born in the year of the Tiger are sensitive, stubborn, short-tempered, courageous, selfish and slightly mean ... yet they are deep thinkers and are capable of great sympathy for those they are close to and love. All good but I don't consider myself mean :)

What beautiful animals those Finnsheep are - their heads are lovely. I laughed at the photo of them turning their backsides to the camera. Enough is enough!Beautiful autumn scenes - the countryside, the apples - all lovely.

I’m a manic reader beside my gardening passion. I’ll add here some books of international interest that I have read recently.

Haruki Murakami, Japan - Killing Commendatore

All elements typical of Murakami are present: surrealism or magical realism, women, sex and music. The basic idea comes from the opera of Mozart - Don Giovanni. A long story but I just have to read every book of Murakami ❤︎

You are a willow warbler, I am a willow, you fly to my lap every night, sleep under my arm, whisper your dream into the wind only for me to hear, for me, for me to dream too, you bird, I willow. - Pertti Nieminen
